Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 87 Two choices
Sanova looked confused, "Reward? Haven't I already given it to you?"

"No, no, no!" Ou Yang politely shook his finger. "That was my previous reward. I want today's reward. Do you understand what I mean today?"

"What reward is there today?"

Are you pretending to be confused?
Ou Yang explained very seriously: "I thought we were in a cooperative relationship. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known it was an employment relationship. If that's the case, then the remuneration I gave you before was yesterday's. Shouldn't I also be paid for today's mission?"

Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Since the other party has taken the initiative to turn the relationship into employment, why shouldn't he refuse to be paid?
Sanova was speechless for a moment. Logically speaking, this was indeed the case.

He really wanted to refuse firmly, but if he gave it to him today, would he give it to him tomorrow?
There are very few immune people, and even fewer willing to join the patrol team for field work. It is not worth it to offend this kid for four thousand dollars.

After weighing the pros and cons, Sanova sighed stubbornly: "Okay, you win, Derek, I'll pay for it. Is one thousand dollars enough?"

"Are you kidding me?" Derek immediately snapped.

"One thousand five?"

"Three thousand!"

……

After some bargaining, it was finally sold for $2100.

Ou Yang's gaze towards Derek kept changing.

Good man, you are here to take advantage of me, right?

Derek felt his gaze, but without any shame, he smiled at him.

"I also need a silencer, a red dot sight and an optical sight, either triple or quadruple will do. Do you have a low-light night vision device?" Ou Yang asked again.

"Hehe, red dot and optical sight are fine, silencer is also fine, but forget about night vision goggles, I can't afford that stuff!" Sanova quickly stopped him.

Derek's face darkened. "I don't have any night vision goggles here. I never have any in the past, present, or future!"

After another round of bargaining, all the necessary accessories were finally gathered. Ou Yang loaded the bullets into the magazine and hung it on his body on the spot. He handed the accessories to Derek for installation and only carried the spare ammunition in his hand.

God knows how satisfied he is now. There are eight full magazines, a scene that only appears in dreams!

Moreover, the 5.7mm bullet is very light. A full magazine weighs only 400 grams, and eight magazines with 400 rounds of bullets weigh only 3.2 kilograms.

It does feel a bit heavy when hung on my body, and it's not as convenient to move around as usual, but this is already very good.

You should know that a 30-round AK47 magazine weighs about 570 grams, and eight magazines with 240 rounds weigh 4.5 kilograms.

一个30发的M4弹匣470克，八个弹匣240发，重约3.7公斤。

The same number of magazines, but 160 more bullets. What a huge advantage this difference of three magazines would be in case of an accident.
What? You're saying submachine guns have a short range and lack power?
I'm not here to fight, I just want to deal with the infected. An effective range of more than 100 meters is enough.

No matter how far away, Ouyang really couldn't hit the target accurately.

There was a small accident when paying. Sanova agreed readily, but he didn't have a rice knife with him. He wanted to keep a record of the bill, but Derek refused to agree.

"I'm not being a pessimist, but given the current situation, no one knows whether they can see the sun tomorrow." Derek said very dejectedly.

The meaning was conveyed very accurately. Sanova had no choice but to borrow some rice and knives from Ouyang temporarily as an emergency measure. He secretly made up his mind to contact Garrison as soon as he returned and to repay the money first no matter what.

When we returned to the armored vehicle, the trucks were still waiting in line, waiting for more than an hour before entering the warehouse. Soon, the fully loaded trucks drove out of the camp and returned to the shelter under the protection of the armored vehicle.

When he was about to arrive at Brown Bear University, Ou Yang suddenly saw a blockade line near the shelter.

In the slanting setting sun, the American troops on the wall were clearly visible.

He remained calm on the surface, but upon returning to the dormitory he immediately took out a map and found the location of the university.

If you look closely, you will see that two blocks east from here is the Vic district where the consulate is located.

But it was useless to know. Matt was taken away by Team K's shelter that day. Ou Yang thought he was sent to the shelter, but when he got there, he found that Matt was not there at all, and no one knew where he had gone.

Apart from Matt, Ou Yang didn't know if there was another old man who specialized in sneaking across the blockade. For the time being, he couldn't think of a way to cross the blockade.

He couldn't possibly dig a tunnel himself, could he?

The more I think about it, the more discouraged I become.

Ou Yang secretly warned himself not to act impulsively and that he must find a safe and secure way to leave here!

The next few days were very peaceful. Carrying supplies and patrolling with the team were Ou Yang's daily routine. He gradually got used to life in the shelter.

Ouyang mentioned Garrison several times, and Sanova's answer was that he was still in the hospital. He didn't know if he was hiding outside and didn't dare to come back because he couldn't fulfill his promise.

Life in the shelter was dull, but the guard team had a lot of chores to do. Over time, Ou Yang discovered that the people in the shelter were not as united as he had imagined. They were divided into several small groups and only communicated with people they were familiar with. They were not mutually exclusive, but they were very wary and even refused to share dormitory rooms.

Moreover, there is no restriction on entry and exit of the shelter. Those who wish to stay are welcome, and no one will stop them if they don't want to stay.

Ou Yang was originally worried that Huangmao would take revenge on him, but after only two days, Huangmao disappeared.

Later we learned that Huangmao was becoming more and more infected. One night, he fell into some kind of illusion and was subdued by others and sent to the isolation area.

Similar situations are not uncommon and have even become a daily occurrence in shelters.

Ou Yang knew that in this place, the infected people whose condition was getting worse had only two options.

One is to join the research institute and take the initiative to act as a research subject;

The second is to enter the isolation area and linger.

It is said that most of the old Mi who voluntarily join the shelter do so because their illness is out of control and they have to come here to seek help. Even if their illness is completely out of control, they will not be shot to death by the hunting organization or anyone else.

However, the institute has not achieved any results. The so-called help is to enter the isolation area when you are about to lose self-control.

The shelter delivers large amounts of food into the quarantine area every day to provide necessary food for the infected people there.

I heard this is also part of the research.

No wonder the food consumption is so high, it turns out most of it is eaten by the infected.

Is this place a shelter for normal people or a shelter for the infected?

Ou Yang was a little confused. What could be learned by doing this? Could it be the behavioral habits of those infected during their growth period?
Or do we hope that an infected person who is left with only instincts will suddenly have a burst of energy, produce antibodies and return to normal, and then produce antiviral serum?
The problem is that the source of infection is not a virus, right?
Antifungal serum?
He had never heard of such a thing!
　In a little while, it will be 2025. In the new year, I wish you all good luck, big money, a happy life and a successful career!

　　However, how come 2024 passed by in the blink of an eye?
